The KGM Rexton, formerly SsangYong Rexton (Korean: 쌍용 렉스턴), is a mid-size SUV manufactured by South Korean manufacturer SsangYong Motor (currently KG Mobility) since late 2001. The name Rexton is derived from the Latin title 'rex' and the English word 'tone', which is intended to mean "the ruler's tone".[1]
In 2017, the second generation Rexton debuted in Seoul 2017,[2] and to the European market in Frankfurt 2017.[3] The new generation Rexton features SsangYong's new body-on-frame platform, which it shares with the Musso pick-up.[4] Other improvements include active safety driving pack, increased towing capacity, and electric parking brake system with auto hold. The Rexton is offered with a choice of a new 2.0L petrol turbo or 2.2L diesel engine and available in two or four-wheel drive. It is equipped with Mercedes-Benz 7G-Tronic automatic or Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission.[5]
